Israel a World Leader in "Smart" Weapons

(Israel Defense) Ami Rojkes Dombe - Israel Military Industries has switched from a company that primarily manufactured ammunition to the manufacture of state-of-the-art weapon systems for the modern battlefield. High-precision "weapons make it possible to hit the target with the first shot, thereby denying the enemy the ability to reorganize. This is a substantial operational advantage," says Avinoam Zafir, IMI's Corporate VP Marketing. "Another field we focus on is warheads. IMI is a national excellence center in the field of warheads for different applications: against bunkers, armored vehicles and personnel targets." "Following the Second Lebanon War [2006] we identified a phenomenon of unexploded bombs.... You dispatch a fighter aircraft, place the pilots at risk, try to make the most of an intelligence window of opportunity - and the bomb does not work....So we came up with a more effective bomb with 98% reliability....You can use it to knock down a floor in a building, and the next-door building will not be affected in any way."
